Mass Effect 2 Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

With both explosive devices in hand, it's time to head back to the fallen concrete barrier that's blocking your entrance through the door on the other side of it. However, once you pick up the second explosive, Geth reinforcements will show up to try and block your exit out of the structure. Respond in kind by seeking cover and dealing with the threat. Since you've laid punishing beat-downs on so many Geth up to this point, fighting your way out of the second hangar shouldn't be too difficult. With those reinforcements eliminated, you shouldn't have to deal with any other Geth here. Work your way out of the second hangar and towards the middle of the compound -- you should find more Iridium to gather here. Then, walk up to the concrete barrier, examine it, and set your explosives. Use the ten seconds you're given to give yourself some distance from the blast. Now that you have access to the door on the other side of the debris, you can head on through to continue.

There's a lot to see in the room you stumble upon from here. After killing the half-dead Geth crawling along the ground, you can take a breather. For the time being, you won't have to deal with any enemies, so enjoy it while you can. Scour this room for all it has to offer. You can find an "ancient" wall safe that, once hacked, will give you some credits. A damaged Geth can be found at the back end of the room that will give you some credits once examined. Nearby, you should also be able to locate and acquire a Geth rifle, which will give you some assault rifle schematics. Next to that, you can play another message from Tali on a computer, if you so desire. What you'll ultimately need to do, though, is use the communications console on the left end of the room, next to the locked door. When you do, you'll be able to communicate directly with Tali, who is in another building nearby. She pleads for your help, and naturally, you're going to assist her. She's across an open area, in an observatory, but unfortunately, most of the Quarian soldiers guarding her have been killed by the Geth. It looks like it's time for you to get involved.

Tali will open the sealed door to your left remotely. On the other side of the door, you can find a medical kit if you need to pillage it. Otherwise, head down the stairs. You'll eventually emerge out from some concrete pillars, with Geth drones looking on. While you'll have to deal with other types of far more powerful Geth here, the drones will prove to be the biggest headache. You'll have to kill several dozen of them, and while they can barely take any damage before falling hard to the ground and exploding, they still have the ability to do a plethora of damage to those unprepared. They work well as a team, and are fairly aggressive. Don't let their size fool you! Your best course of action in the early-going here is to stay in a stagnant position, dealing with the few Geth soldiers that appear, but more importantly drawing the drones towards your location, dealing with them en masse as they make themselves seen.

As you push forward, the mysterious sun here will become an issue once more. Stay out of daylight when you can, prioritizing a good piece of cover that blocks you from both the elements and enemy fire. Believe it or not, for such an extensive outdoor area, this place has nothing to give to you other than plenty of ammunition, which you will no doubt need. So, don't bother risking your life to explore the sunny areas -- we did that for you, and you won't find anything for your trouble. When you finally pinch your way to the back of this compound, you'll have a few more Geth to deal with, as well as more waves of drones. When the coast is clear, you can then go through the door to continue. In here, face the near wall with the door on it, and crack open the safe for some credits. Then, use the blast door controls to lower the window barriers, where you'll witness a rather gigantic Geth weapon, a Colossus, causing massive amounts of damage just outside of Tali's location.
